1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

During the repolarization phase of a cardiac action potential, hERG1 K(+) channels rapidly recover from an inactivated state then slowly deactivate to a closed state. The resulting resurgence of outward current terminates the plateau phase and is thus a key regulator of action potential duration of cardiomyocytes. The intracellular N-terminal domain of the hERG1 subunit is required for slow deactivation of the channel as its removal accelerates deactivation 10-fold. Here we investigate the stoichiometry of hERG1 channel deactivation by characterizing the kinetic properties of concatenated tetramers containing a variable number of wild-type and mutant subunits. Three mutations known to accelerate deactivation were investigated, including R56Q and R4A/R5A in the N terminus and F656I in the S6 transmembrane segment. In all cases, a single mutant subunit induced the same rapid deactivation of a concatenated channel as that observed for homotetrameric mutant channels. We conclude that slow deactivation gating of hERG1 channels involves a concerted, fully cooperative interaction between all four wild-type channel subunits.
